Cruel Mistress Lyrics

Artist: Flogging Molly
Album: Drunken Lullabies

Next time out to seeBring enough soil to bury meFor I don't want my final jigIn the belly of a squidTake my trousers take my shirtJust give me that sweet dirtFor the water's cold and grimAnd I never did learn to swimNo her love never set me freeSo I set off for the oceanNow in my dreams she comes to meWhispering of peaceBut I've known since the dayThat we sailed for SantiagoHer dry embrace would kiss my faceNo never, no more

The Sea is a Cruel MistressThe Sea is a Cruel Mistress

Many moons to the dayThat I threw her love awayNow every whale spouts,"go to hell"As the wind laughs in my faceI've grown harder on the eyesAnd salty on the tasteMy pride has gone with the wakeAs I wait a cold wet graveI rose to the smellOf a wet desert hellAnd I thought to myselfHow'd I wind up in this jailTill a voice called to meFrom deep within the seaDry your eyes my dear fishermanYour ass belongs to me

The Sea is a Cruel MistressThe Sea is a Cruel Mistress

The earth will rest my bonesLord I know, Lord I knowBut I'll see you when I get homeFrom the cold, yeah from the cold

No her love never set me freeSo I set off for the oceanNow in my dreams she comes to meWhispering of peaceBut I've known since the dayThat we sailed for SantiagoHer dry embrace would kiss my faceNo never, no more

The Sea is a Cruel MistressThe Sea is a Cruel Mistress

Next time out to seeBring enough soil to bury meFor I don't want my final jigIn the belly of a squid

Next time out to seaBring enough soil to bury meFor in my dreams she comes to meWhispering of peace...
